Russia helping China produce new missile system

Russia is helping China to create a missile warning system, Russian President Vladimir Putin told a yearly session of the Valdai Discussion Club on Thursday.

“I don’t think I will reveal a big secret, this will become evident after all,” Putin said. “We are now helping our Chinese partners to create a missile warning system. This is a very serious thing, that will drastically enhance the defensive capacity of the People’s Republic of China. As currently, only the US and Russia have such systems,” he added.

He also said that Russia and China were actively cooperating along different trajectories – from the agrarian sector to space. “Our friendship and our work together is not aimed against anybody,” he added.

At the same time, China claims the possession of most of Siberia…
If your neighbour claims being the owner of half your garden, despite the property records of your community clearly stipulate he/she isn’t, can you consider this neighbour as a friend, especially if he already tried to invade and you had to boot him?

India is not that naive while China illegally occupies a part of Kashmir and claims possession of Arunachal Pradesh state… Guess why India deploys tactical nukes in Arunachal Pradesh, especially if you consider the geography (a 23km bottleneck between Nepal and Bangladesh, a 49km one between Bhutan and Bangla)
